(i  WHAT  COKNEIL-WOOD  -BOARD  IS 


The  question  is  often  asked,  “What  is  Cornell- 
Wood-Board?" 

We  answer  it  by  saying  that  Cornell-Wood- 
Board  is  exactly  what  the  name  implies — a  wood- 
board  made  from  logs.  But  that  is  not  all  by  any 
means.  It  is  an  all-purpose  wood-board  to  be  used 
wherever  any  of  its  165  uses  described  in  this  book¬ 
let  are  applicable. 

Comell-Wood-Board  has  come  to  take  the  place 
of  lath  and  plaster  for  walls,  ceilings,  and  partitions ; 
for  making  useful  and  handy  conveniences  for  the 
home;  for  manual  training  purposes,  etc. 

How  CORN  ELL-WOOD-BOARD  Is  Made 

After  removing  the  bark,  logs  are  ground  to  a 
pulp  which  is  refined  and  made  into  sheets  or  plys. 
Four  of  these  plys,  when  laminated  together,  make  a 
panel  of  Cornell- Wood-Board,  three-sixteenths  of  an 
dnch  thick.  After  the  laminating  process  is  com¬ 
pleted  the  sheets  are  surfaced  sized  for  the  purpose 
of  reducing  expansion  and  contraction,  caused  by 
moisture  and  atmospheric  changes,  to  a  minimum. 

Before  decoration,  ordinary  wall  materials  re¬ 
quire  a  priming  coat  of  paint  or  glue  sizing  to  make 
a  base  for  the  finish.  Cornell -Wood-Board’s  Mill 
Priming  makes  this  unnecessary.  The  finished  board 
is  thoroughly  treated  on  both  sides  with  a  special  re¬ 
sinous  compound  which  insures  an  even,  smooth, 
completed  finish  with  one  coat  of  paint  or  kalsomine. 


The  proudest  mark  of  its  superiority  is  Cornell’s 
fashionable  Oatmeal  Finish  which  is  an  artistically 
rough,  soft-toned,  matte  or  pebbled  surface  quite 
in  contrast  to  the  hard  shine  of  other  materials.  It 
gives  to  any  room  in  which  Cornell-Wood-Board  is 
used,  a  tone  of  unmistakable  refinement,  elegance, 
and  good  taste. 

'  Cornell-Wood-Board  is  made  in  two  widths, 
32  and  48  inches,  and  in  6,  7,  8,  9,  10,  12,  14  and  16 
foot  lengths. 

Strong  Points  of  CORNELL-WOOD-BOARD 

(1)  It  is  fire  resisting. 

(2)  It  is  a  nonconductor  of  heat,  cold,  and  sound. 

(3)  It  will  not  bulge  or  warp. 

(4)  It  needs  no  priming  or  sizing  before  using. 

(5)  It  holds  paint  or  enamel  smoothly. 

(6)  It  is  a  genuine  piece  of  Wood  Board. 

(7)  It  has  attractive  Oatmeal  Finish. 

Caution 

Accept  no  substitutes  for  Cornell-Wood-Board. 
No  other  wall  board  will  saw  and  hold  nails  like 
Comell-Wood-Board.  The  name  Cornell-Wood- 
Board  is  stamped  on  each  sheet  for  your  protection. 
If  your  local  dealer  cannot  supply  you  with  Comell- 
Wood-Board  in  the  len^hs  and  widths  mentioned 
above  write  us  and  we  will  see  that  you  get  it.

OF  the  hundreds  of  useful  things  that  can  be 
made  of  Cornell- Wood-Board  this  article  has 
proven  a  popular  item  with  the  woman  of 
the  home. 

It  is  easily  made  out  of  one  panel  of  32x8.  The 
only  tools  required  are  a  hammer  and  saw. 

For  reinforcing  the  corners,  a  three-quarter  round 
moulding  is  suggested  (see  sketch) ,  and  the  Cornell 
Board  should  be  glued  as  well  as  nailed,  with  small 
brads.  The  cover  is  made  of  three  pieces  of  board— r 
the  bottom  piece  (No  3)  cut  to  fit  the  inside  measj- 
urements  of  the  box.  The  center  piece  (No.  2) 
overlaps  the  outer  edge  of  the  box  a  half  inch  all 
around,  and  the  top  piece  (No.  1)  is  put  on  merely 
for  decoration. 

Specifications:  Piece  No.  1,  14x14  inches;  2,  18x18  inches; 
3  and  4,  IS^xlS^inches;  5  and  6,  15%x30  inches;  7  and 
8,  16x30  inches.  When  this  is  finished  with  two  coats  of 
good  quality  white  paint  and  one  coat  of  white  enamel,  it 
makes  a  very  attractive  and  useful  article  for  the  home.

A  RECENT  investigation  of  the  Forest  Product 
Laboratories  of  Canada  proved  that  wood- 
pulp  board  makes  a  better  protector  from 
heat  for  tables  or  polished  surfaces  than  either  im- ) 
ported  asbestos  or  felt  pads.  A  few  panels  of ' 
Cornell-Wood-Board,  cut  the  proper  size,  will  en¬ 
able  you  to  protect  the  polished  surface  of  your  : 
dining  room  table.  It  may  be  in  two  or  three 
pieces  hinged  with  adhesive  tape  in  order  to  fold, 
and  conveniently  store  away  when  not  in  use.  A;’ 
small  mat  to  be  placed  under  hot  dishes,  or  used  as- 
a  protection  under  water  tumblers,  can  be  very^ 
quickly  cut  out  of  Cornell-Wood-Board.  By  trac¬ 
ing  thereon  designs  taken  from  any  fancy  work 
page  found  in  the  popular  woman’s  publications, 
they  can  be  artistically  decorated  with  oil  paint. 
These  not  only  serve  a  very  practical  purpose,  but 
lend  a  decorative  touch  to  your  table  that  will  de¬ 
light  your  guests.

Radiator  Cover  Screens 

STEAM  and  hot  water  radiators  cause  the  walls 
and  ceilings  directly  above  them  to  become 
soiled  very  quickly.  This  can  be  eliminated 
by  constructing  a  top  cover  made  of  Cornell- Wood- 
Board.  The  construction  is  very  simple^ — merely 
measure  the  size  of  the  radiator  to  be  covered  and 
cut  your  Cornell  panels  accordingly  for  the  top  and 
four  sides.  These  are  joined  by  re-enforcing  the 
inside  corners  with  quarter  round  moulding  to 
which  the  sides  are  glued  and  nailed. 

GORNELL  panels  enable  you  to  easily  make  a 
folding  screen  for  the  particular  need  that 
may  obtain  in  your  home.  The  matter  of 
height  and  width  necessary  to  conceal  a  doorway, 
fireplace  or  other  objects  can  be  quickly  determined 
and  the  panels  cut  accordingly.  Use  1x2  inch 
dressed  lumber  strips  to  make  a  frame  for  each 
panel.  Four  ordinary  hinges  will  do,  althpugh 


Dress  Hangers  Shoe  Holders 

double  hinges  that  will  permit  the  screens  folding 
each  way  are  preferable.  Color  combinations  on 
the  Cornell-Wood-Board  and  the  panel  strips  can 
be  used  to  harmonize  with  the  rest  of  the  furnishings. 

The  orderly  person  will  at  once  be  attracted 
by  the  ease  with  which  a  convenient  holder  or 
rack  for  shoes  may  be  constructed  inside  the 
cupboard  or  closet  door.  Just  measure  the  width 
of  the  door,  allow  sufficient  depth  for  the  shoes,  cut 
three-cornered  pieces  for  the  brackets  and  about 
33^  inches  from  the  top  surface  of  the  shelf,  nail  a 
piece  of  quarter  round  moulding,  which  will  hold 
the  shoes  in  place  by  the  heel. 

Convenient  dress  or  coat  hangers  can  be  sawed 
out  of  Cornell-Wood-Board  and  attractively  deco¬ 
rated  or  left  plain.  A  wire  hook  or  a  heavy  cord 
or  ribbon  can  be  used  to  hang  on  the  closet  hook.

Sewing  Cabinet 


Here  is  one  of  the  most  useful  of  all  accessories 
for  the  sewing-room — a  sewing  cabinet  made 
from  Cornell-Wood-Board.  It  can  be  easily 
made  by  anyone  from  a  sheet  of  Cornell-Wood- 
Board  48  inches  wide  by  six  feet  long. 

The  illustration  of  the  completed  cabinet  above 
shows  the  details  of  construction.  Each  tray  is  18 
inches  wide  by  48  inches  long  and  is  faced  all  round 
with  a  3  inch  strip.  The  fittings  of  the  trays  con¬ 
sist  of  the  following :  right  hand  tray — small  boxes 
for  pins,  buttons,  hooks,  and  eyes,  etc. ;  small  1  inch 
hooks  and  bag  or  pocket  for  sewing  material ;  a  piece 
of  floral  cretonne  should  be  used  for  the  front  of 
pocket ;  left  hand  tray — small  nails  for  spool  holders, 
1  inch  hooks,  and  a  wire  the  full  width  of  the  tray 


for  ribbon  spools,  etc.  Both  trays  are  divided  into 
three  equal  compartments.  The  corners  and  side 
should  be  re-inforced  with  three-quarter  round 
moulding. 

The  outside  fittings  consist  of  a  small  brass 
handle  for  the  top,  three  one  inch  brass  hinges, 
eight  small  brass  comer  pieces,  and  a  small  brass 
catch  for  the  front.  The  inside  of  the  sewing  case 
can  be  lined  with  any  kind  of  a  light  weight  fabric, 
plain  or  floral,  or  painted  to  suit.  The  outside  of 
the  case  can  be  beautified  with  stencil  decorations 
or  covered  with  floral  cretonne. 

The  only  tools  needed  to  make  this  attractive 
sewing  cabinet  are;  a  saw,  hammer,  knife,  and 
some  small  nails  and  glue.

Lambrequin  Decorated 
Moulding  Trimmed  Lambrequin 

Window  valances  or  lambrequins  are  now 
much  in  vogue  and  add  a  very  artistic  touch 
to  the  better  class  of  homes  and  public  build¬ 
ings.  Cornell  Wood  Panels  are  readily  adapted 
and  lend  themselves  to  unlimited  decorative  possi¬ 
bilities  in  construction  of  this  kind.  It  is  always 
the  upper  twelve  inches  of  curtain  and  drape  that 
soils  quickest  and  a  lambrequin  of  Comell-Wood- 
Board  decorated  in  flat  oil  paint  or  even  calcimine 
to  harmonize  with  the  drapes  creates  a  boxlike 
inclosure  for  the  upper  portion  of  the  window  frame 
as  shown  in  the  illustration.  Here  again  the  con¬ 
struction  is  simply  a  matter  of  measurements  to 
suit  your  particular  window  opening,  with  the 
quarter  round  moulding  for  re-enforcing  on  the

be  purchased  from  your  lumber  dealer,  a  more 
elaborate  result  can  be  obtained.  See  illustration 
in  lower  left  hand  corner. 

Proper  ventilation  in  every  building  is  essential 
to  the  health  of  its  occupants.  Cornell  panels 
offer  a  very  simple  and  easy  way  to  construct 
ventilators  at  a  nominal  cost.  By  their  use  drafts 
can  be  avoided  and  the  fresh  air  forced  upward  into 
the  room  causing  a  continuous  circulation  of  pure 
air.  These  are  so  simple  to  make  that  hardly  any 
instructions  are  necessary.  The  illustrations  above 
suggest  two  styles  that  may  be  used.

oil  paints.  Attractive  colored  pictures  can  be  r 
pasted  on  Cornell  to  save  painting. 

You  will  find  uses  for  this  handy  material  never 
before  realized  and  the  small  cost  of  Cornell  makes  . 
it  possible  to  have  a  supply  always  on  hand. 

Phone  your  lumber  dealer  today  and  tell  him 
to  deliver  a  few  panels  of  32x6  the  next  time  his

An  inexpensive  and  simple  game  to  make  that 
will  amuse  the  whole  family.  The  object 
of  the  game  is  to  see  who  can  stand  twelve 
feet  from  the  board  and  cast  the  rubber  rings  on 
hooks,  the  numbers  of  which  are  added  until  the 
winner  makes  50  even.  A  ringer  on  hook  12  counts 
for  double  or  24.  A  ringer  on  hook  13  means  take 
off  13  from  your  score.  Each  contestant  throws 
12  rings  at  a  turn.  Cut  a  piece  of  Cornell  18  inches 
wide  and  24  inches  high.  Get  13  ordinary  hooks 
1  inch,  screw  them  into  the  board  as  shown  in  illus¬ 
tration.  ;>  Cut  the  numbers  from  an  old  calendar  and 
paste  under  the  proper  hooks.  For  rings  use  12 
ordinary  preserve  jar  rubber  washers.

Miniature  House 


Here  is  a  real  house.  When  completed  it 
stands  1334^  inches  high,  12  inches  wide,  and 
16  inches  long.  Two  panels  of  Cornell- 
Wood-Board,  32x6  will  furnish  enough  material, 
and  any  boy  or  girl  who  can  handle  a  saw  and 
hammer  can  make  it. 

The  measurements  of  each  piece  are  shown  on 
the  opposite  page.  Draw  them  in  exact  propor¬ 
tion  on  the  Cornell  panel  and  cut  out  with  saw  and 
knife.  Note  that  there  are  some  piepes  of  which 
more  than  one  are  needed.  After  all  the  cutouts  have 
been  made  the  work  of  joining  them  is  very  simple. 

Set  the  house  up  in  this  manner:  place  the  ends 
and  side  walls  in  the  grooves  on  the  section  used  for 
the  floor  as  shown  on  opposite  page.  Then  put  in  ceil¬ 
ing  and  the  house  is  ready  for  the  roof  and  chimney. 

Before  the  house  is  set  up  the  interior  should  be 
painted  and  decorated,  or  the  floor,  walls,  and  ceil¬ 
ing  tinted  with  water  color  in  any  combination 
desired.  The  roof  should  be  outlined  to  represent 


shingles,  and  the  chimney  to  represent  brick.  The 
possibilities  for  changing  the  outside  style  of  this 
house  are  very  great.  For  instance,  you  can  have 
plain  colored  side  walls  and  ends,  or  side  walls  and 
ends  outlined  to  represent  brick  or  weatherboard¬ 
ing.  The  range  of  color  combinations  for  this  work 
depend  entirely  upon  the  taste  of  the  builder. 

'  When  one  side  wall,  together  with  one  side  of 
the  roof  is  removed,  the  space  in  the  main  room  and 
attic  is  very  accessible  and  quite  adequate  for  dolls, 
doll  furniture,  and  cooking  utensils,  etc. 

By  using  a  large  panel  of  Cornell  to  represent 
the  grounds  or  lot  on  which  the  house  stands,  a 
complete  model  home  site  can  be  laid  out.  A 
garage  for  the  back  yard  can  easily  be  made  with 
swinging  doors  to  accommodate  a  toy  automobile, 
or  a  pergola  for  the  side  lawn  and  a  cement  side¬ 
walk  and  drive  around  the  house.  Grass  can  be 
represented  by  green  paint.

Attractive  Bird  Houses  for  the  Trees  in  Your  Yard 


Birds  of  every  description  can  be  induced  to 
make  their  homes  in  the  trees  surrounding 
your  home  if  you  provide  for  them  proper 
houses  where  they  may  build  their  nests.  Cornell- 
Wood-Board  while  being  principally  used  for  indoor 
purposes  readily  adapts  itself  to  the  construction 
of  bird  houses,  when  the  finished  house  is  given 
one  or  two  coats  of  oil  paint  for  water-proofing. 

Here  is  an  opportunity  for  the  boy  and  girl, 
and  the  grown-ups,  too,  to  study  the  feathered 
creatures  of  the  air  at  close  range.  There  are 


societies  scattered  throughout  the  country  for  the 
purpose  of  encouraging  the  building  of  bird  houses, 
so  that  the  beautifully  colored  specimens  with  their 
sweet  songs  and  weird  calls,  may  be  encouraged  to 
build  their  nests  in  city  gardens  and  parks. 

The  public  schools,  and  especially  those  that 
teach  manual  training,  gladly  furnish  information 
as  to  the  proper  homes  for  the  various  kinds  of  birds. 
Cornell-Wood-Board  being  inade  of  pure  wood,  is 
ideally  adaptable  for  bird  house  construction.

Handy  Table  Cupboard — How  to  Make  It 


The  housewife  can  always  use  additional  cup¬ 
board  space  and  in  most  cases  the  space  under¬ 
neath  the  average  kitchen  table  is  not  being 
utilized.  By  purchasing  a  few  panels  of  Cornell- 
Wood-Board  and  sufficient  lumber  strips  1x2  inches, 

.  sixteen  inexpensive  brackets  as  illustrated  in  figure 
“A",  four  hinges,  and  a  snap  catch  for  the  door,  a 
frame  work  can  be  quickly  constructed  as  shown  in 
figure  “B”  upon  which  the  Cornell  panels  cut  to 
size  can  be  nailed.  The  waste  space  is  eliminated 
and  a  dust-proof  compartment  for  storing  pans  or 
other  kitchen  utensils  is  at  your  service  and  when 
given  two  coats  of  white  paint  and  one  coat  of  white 
enamel,  will  present  a  very  attractive  appearance. 

A  handy  person  who  so  desires  can  enlarge  upon 
f  this  by  constructing  a  cupboard  above  the  table 
\  so  that  the  result  makes  a  kitchen  cabinet  custom 
built  to  fit  your  needs  and  the  space  available  in  your 
kitchen.  Just  measure  the  height  of  your  table,  the 

■  (<X>  MILL  PRIMED  p  TRIPLE  SIZED  ^ 


width  and  breadth,  go  to  your  lumber  dealer,  show 
him  this  page  and  he  will  see  that  you  get  the 
material  you  need.  Be  sure  you  get  Cornell-Wood- 
Board  as  other  wall  boards  made  of  paper  will  not 
saw  and  nail  as  well  as  a  board  made  of  wood 
throughout,  like  Cornell. 

Around  the  kitchen  there  is  often  need  for 
some  handy  material  to  make  a  shelf,  box, 
breadboard,  paper-rack  or  innumerable  other 
things.  Cornell- Wood-Board  answers  this  demand 
better  than  any  other  material  and  a  few  panels 
should  always  be  on  hand  for  emergency  use. 

For  instance,  wouldn’t  it  be  nice  to  have  a  large, 
clean  board  to  place  on  the  -kitchen  table  when 
you’re  cleaning  silver,  or  a  piece  to  make  a  seat  for 
the  broken  cane  chair,  or  a  temporary  panel  in  the 
broken  basement  window?

Kitchen 


Bathroom 


CAN  you  estimate  the  true  value  of  a  modern, 
sanitary  kitchen  or  bathroom?  Most  cer¬ 
tainly  not,  unless  you  have  once  had  them. 

No  home  is  complete,  or  is  a  real  home,  with¬ 
out  a  modern  kitchen  and  bathroom,  for  these  two 
rooms  make  a  home  what  it  should  be.  The  illus¬ 
trations  above  show  what  you  can  do  with  Cornell- 
Tile-Board  at  small  expense,  and  your  kitchen  and 
bathroom  will  look  just  like  these  if  you  use  Cornell- 
Tile-Board  on  the  walls  and  ceiling. 

When  remodeling  is  done  with  Cornell- Wood- 
Board  or  Cornell-Tile-Board  you  are  assured  of 
two  things:  (1)  high-grade  results;  (2)  small  cost. 

Cornell- Wood-Board  has  been  used  so  long,  and 
by  so  many  hundreds  of  thousands  of  people  who 
have  obtained  the  best  of  results  with  it,  that  we 
feel  justified  in  stating  that  you  will  also  be  pleased 
with  every  job  on  which  you  use  it. 


There  are  two  principal  reasons  for  the  dura¬ 
bility  of  Cornell-Wood-Board.  The  first  is  the 
Cornell  “Triple  Sizing.”  This  process  gives  triple 
protection  against  moisture  and  atmospheric  con¬ 
ditions  reducing  expansion  and  contraction  to  the 
minimum.  Comell-Wood-Board  will  not  chip, 
crack,  warp,  or  buckle  when  applied  according  to 
the  simple  directions  contained  in  each  bundle. 

The  second  is  that  Cornell’s  permanence  is  due 
to  the  fact  that  it  is  made  of  pure  wood  fibre  (not 
paper),  and  these  strong  sturdy  wood  fibres  are 
crossed  and  interlaid  in  the  process  of  manufacture 
so  that  the  finished  product,  while  giving  the  ap¬ 
pearance  of  a’  solid  piece  of  lumber,  contains  thou¬ 
sands  of  small  air  cells  formed  by  the  interlacing  of 
the  fibres.  These  dead  air  cells  make  Cornell- 
Wood-Board  a  non-conductor  of  heat,  cold,  and 
sound.
